It looks like you're missing something on your Dev Tools install, since /usr/bin/cvs can't be found, and that's what installs it.
For XDarwin, check and see if you actually have /usr/X11R6/bin on your system, and not just /Application/XDarwin.app Otherwise, run /Applications/Utilities/Console.app so that you can see the error messages.
